It is a fantastic illustrated book by Keith Wilbur. He has a series of historical illustration books that are great reference guides. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1564409937/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_JD0H721FYVTF7QH3WNZ7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

One last question for you and /u/CornerTang since you are both knowledgeable and seem to be near by. Would this be a good first book for my collection, or would you recommend something else?

Stone Artifacts of Texas Indians by Turner, Hester, McReynolds

Thank you both again!

Overstreet Identification Guide. there are several editions...any of them would be great for you. and i would leave them alone, just like they are in the frame, notate on the back they came from your dad...and hang it up on a wall.

For Texas, this book is great.

For the holder type everyone is asking about.

You ever heard of truck nuts? https://www.amazon.com/Bulls-Balls-Truck-Solid-Color-Flesh/dp/B019NH4952/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?adgrpid=128057129271&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0KPR6o_t-gIVw4BbCh09iAkHEAAYASAAEgKVnPD_BwE&hvadid=535647800333&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9027255&hvnetw=g&am...

I learned by doing Grad School in Archaeology and 7 years of work in OK, TX, KS, and NM lol.

A slightly easier way of identifying point types would be to use the Stone Artifacts of Texas Indians book. https://www.amazon.com/Stone-Artifacts-Indians-Completely-Revised/dp/1589794648

Definitely put there intentionally, I’ve seen it on a couple Suwannee arrowheads and on one of arrowheads on the cover of this book The Official Overstreet Indian Arrowheads Identification and Price Guide https://www.amazon.com/dp/1440248680/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_W89S74FAAHV3TP2FMCYA but I assume it was put there for the wood part of the arrow to get a snugger hold on the point

You can't go wrong purchasing this book.

yes, the rounding is called grooved. but write up everything you know about your dad and maybe where he found them and put in the frame so one day your grandchildren will have an idea about them. also, check out Overstreet Arrowhead guide book, it will give you type names and date ranges. its a great book https://www.amazon.com/Official-Overstreet-Arrowheads-Identification-Arrowhead/dp/1440248680

top one is kirk stemmed, the two below it possible (broken) morrow mountain, the bottom one a guilfford straight base. i do not know the material, but (depending on where in NC you live) that material came from the mountains. those are all very very nice pieces....i would be going back to where they found them and look for more. also, this book it was "most" everyone uses to identify style types.

Or you could try one of these which I’ve used at sites with high concentrations, or even make your own if you wanted to stick with a sift-related gift...I️ made mine out of chicken wire and 2x4’s for less than ten bucks :)
